The Big & The Small 📰 

SEGA:

What do you get when you mix a hedgehog with a bird? How about the crossover event of the century? “Sega, of Sonic the Hedgehog fame, is buying Angry Birds developer Rovio for $776 million…” Get us this video game ASAP!

orbit fab:

Big money in oil, even in outer space. “Orbit Fab, a company that wants to build a network of refueling stations in orbit, closed a $28.5 million Series A to launch more fuel delivery and infrastructure missions.” Moral of the story: there’s opportunity everywhere! Get creative!

The functional drink mix market is exploding, and Cure is looking for a bigger piece of the pie. “[They] announced today $5.6 million in Series A funding and retail expansion to 15,000 stores nationwide…” They’re already in CVS and Walgreens but will soon be coming to a supermarket near you!

ynsect sas:

A lot of strikes, layoffs, and other buzzkills in big business this week, so how about another small? This one..wants to feed us bugs. “Insect farming startup Ynsect SAS has secured more funding as it expands globally and looks to prioritize higher-value food for pets and humans.” They just raised $175 million!

Wendy Wesley, a registered dietitian and licensed nutritionist, recommends farmer’s markets and other local alternatives. “If I go down to the produce stand at the corner, I can get a lot out of $20. Probably three times as much as what I get at Publix for the same cost.” Count us in!
